The basil from FFF will grow only to around 12 in. which means it is probably Mexican basil. The diameter will be about 1-1/2 ft. and form a perfect ball. The leaves will be very small and look and taste nothing like Italian basil which has large, creased leaves and can grow into a bush 4 feet tall. The best thing about basil is if you plant or put in pots around your patio, the mosquitoes will stay away. Be sure and pinch the flowers off so you can continue to harvest all summer.

If anyone is interested, I’d be willing to sell my box for the cost of the box + shipping over paypal!

I’m new to popsugar this month and when I signed up I signed for the May box and was waitlisted for the April box. I just received an email saying “get excited, your April box is on the way”. So does that mean an April box has shipped for me? There was no tracking information or anything on the email.

I think maybe all subscribers got that email. If you’ve been taken off the wait-list early, they send an email specifically explaining that. The best way to know for sure is to log into your account to see if the April or May is currently listed as your expected first box.

Yeh my account still says may. Thank you!!

FYI:
Each box will include a $25 Mott 50 gift card.
The umbrella has a value of $20 which, in my opinion, is more reasonable that the suggested retail value of the bag in the March box.

Mott gift card…I’ve never heard of Mott, do they have a website?
Reply
Lindsay
Oh nvm I didn’t see it was Mott 50, cool sun protective clothing!
Agreed. I can’t even give that neon pink pouch away! Not a single one of my friends/coworkers have wanted it. The umbrella is something they would fight over! But I’m keeping it 🙂 Proof that a higher price doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be a more desirable item.

I thought the same about the pouch, but I’m in Vegas on vacation and the neon pink pouch is full of sunscreen and I literally looked at it 10 min ago and believe it or not, I thought that I wish I had another one! They’re bright, but are a great size. Not, however, worth their list price.
Kristin
There is a $25 gift card of some sort as an extra
The umbrella is valued at $20

Love this box. I’ll use everything in it. Who knew I’d be excited to get an umbrella, but I am. Well Done PSMH 🙂

I love it! I just do. I can’t wait to get it!

I like it! I’m happy there is no make-up or jewelry – not that I don’t love those things but something different like an umbrella is awesome and a reusable tote is perfect for the farmer’s market! PS always does a good job including different products so it isn’t the same thing every month. 🙂

I 100% agree with you! I love the variety that PSMH puts out!

Im not a fan of anything in this month’s box, sadly. If anyone is interested, I will sell my box at cost + shipping, via Paypal.

Hi Lisa,
I would be happy to purchase the entire box from you. Please e-mail me at [email protected].
Thank you 🙂

I’m pretty excited about three bag and the basil, and to some degree the umbrella (I hope it’s cute! 😀 ). But I’m a little perplexed by the number of items.
I went back and checked all the PSMH reviews, all the way back to summer of 2013 (because I am evidently a crazy person), and in that time there were never fewer than 6 items- often 7 or 8. And the total value has never been under $100; the [statistical] average value is about $140.
I really don’t mean this as a complaint. But are we sure there isn’t one more item?

Liz didn’t have the value for the umbrella so it is likely it meets the $100 threshold.

CJ
I tried searching for the umbrella online but couldn’t find any info or pricing anywhere. I’m thinking it may be an exclusive item for PopSugar (like that plastic pink zip pouch from last month’s box).
Lisa
The value of the box without the umbrella is already $81, so I don’t think it would be a stretch for PS to value the umbrella at $30 or even $40 considering the value of last months pink pouch.
CJ
I noticed that too. My theory is that they probably cut an item because the serum and candle are heavy items. This probably allowed them to stay within budget for shipping.

Wish it was another herb as just got Basil in FFF. what are the chances LOL
I too live in the severe drought of southern California but I’m going to England in a couple of weeks and an umbrella well certainly come in use there

Wow, I am soooo glad I re-subbed. I tried to avoid the spoilers but it takes sooooooo long for my box to get to Hawaii that I knew I would eventually have to look and now I am glad I did because I am so excited! March and April have sold me on this sub!

Same! My tracking still says N/A for date. I’m guessing 3 weeks til it gets to Oahu. Such patience we have 😉

Well, I like everything but I wish I had more willpower and would have averted my gaze from the spoilers because I’m sitting here thinking…”that’s it?”
Seems like we normally receive more than 5 items and it seems like the overall monetary value is low, but with that said, I like everything and I will use all of the products. It’s a nice curation and a box of very practical items. I’m most excited about the basil in a bag and the body oil. Also, thankfully I bought 6 months during Black Friday so this box only cost me about $25.

Uggh why didn’t I get annual sub with the black Friday deal?! Good one captain procrastinate.

There was only a 3-month subscription and a 6-month subscription. If they offered a 12-month subscription I would have jumped on it for the price

Thanks for the info ladies. I will definitely do a 6 month sub come Thanksgiving if they offer the deal.
Sindy
I don’t think that they offered an annual subscription with the black Friday deal, because I only get the 6 month as well!

I’m wondering if the body serum could be used on the face as well.

Lol. I still love PS but I will probably keep the umbrella and swap everything else and throw in the basil pod from FFF. I am looking forward to May’s box bc I do like the spoiler but am worried it will get lost in my cleavage. They are all still great quality items but this month’s box wasn’t really for me. I seem to have a black thumb instead of a green thumb and even manage to kill fake plants somehow. So if there is any interest just let me know.
I’ve killed cactus… CACTUS!!! More than once. Lol. I love basil but I wish I could keep it alive.

Don’t worry, Raquel… I feel your pain. I’m still trying to figure out how I managed to kill our fake mini Charlie Brown Christmas Christmas tree… : /

LOL! I decorated a small cactus for Christmas and it still seems to be doing well – Your comment just reminded me to water it –

I wish the spoilers were released when the box was still available for purchase. Would have soo jumped on starting a subscription. If anyone wants to sell their box, let me know!

I might be interested in selling my box! Although I might keep the candle depending on the scent. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll update you when I get my box (tracking says it will get here on the 10th, but I’m guessing it might be earlier). My email is [email protected].

This is great! I love the umbrella, and I’m so glad there is no makeup. I’m on makeup overload.

This is such a great box!! I have been a subscriber since November last year and I love Popsugar but I realize that I have been trading or gifting most contents from previous boxes. I think this is the first box where I am certain I will keep and use every item! I have been needing an umbrella but I’m too cheap to buy a nice one so the umbrella will be super useful! I love candles, can always use another reusable bag, and the herbs & serum are very interesting! I wish I could have ordered a second as a gift for my mom! Very rarely is there a box we can both enjoy! Great job Popsugar 🙂

I’m excited about the spoilers. I can’t wait to try the serum because I ran out of body oil. I’ve been wanting to try a Produce Candle ever since I heard about them. I can always use another reusable bag and umbrella. I love growing plants and am excited to try out the Garden in a Bag. I need my tracking number!

I’m sorry I missed out on this. I hope I can swap for most of the items.
